“In an era where the search for justice has become increasingly indispensable, the President of the Court of Appeal has, by her mandate, made it possible for litigants in Delta State to pursue their cases without having to necessarily travel to the neigbouring states to file or have their appeals heard. This, by no small measure, is a feat worthy of accolades and appreciation.”

He admonished Deltans to continue in their collective and individual support for the Okowa administration,  saying: “Nothing in the entire history of the state’s economic and political trajectory comes close to the growth and development Delta state is currently experiencing under Okowa.”
